Rules of positioning
Basic qualities of brand positioning include:
•Relevance: Positioning of brand must focus on benefits that are important to people or reflect the
character of the product.
•Clarity: Brand should be positioned in such a way that it is easy to communicate and quick to
comprehend.
•Distinctiveness: In current market situation there are a reasonably good number of players vying
for a share in the market, forcing them to compete on the basis of price or promotion. To overcome
such a situation, company needs to offer distinctiveness in its products or services.
•Coherence: A brand should speak with one voice through all the elements of the marketing mix.
•Commitment: Management should be committed to the position it has adopted. Once a position is
adopted, it takes commitment to see it through.
•Patience: Patience plays an important role in the success of brand as branding is not a one-day
wonder – it takes years to position a brand in consumers’ mind.
•Courage: Adopting a strong brand position requires courage as it is much easier to defend an
appeal rather than generate sales pitch
